Chapter 449: The military parade marches

The children, who were a few months old, did not know the meaning of the separation, they only knew that there was a lot of activity on the bed tonight, and someone accompanied them to play until they were too tired to play, and then put them to sleep.

In the summer, there is no need to cover any quilts at all, the two little guys, wearing small clothes, lie on the soft bed, on both sides of the spacious big bed, Sun Xiangfu and Yu Xiuer occupy one side to prevent them from rolling and falling out of bed.

"Tomorrow, the concubine will get up early, won't the husband accompany Hongmei and Chuntao?"

"I went to see it, maybe I was afraid that I would worry, they went to bed early, and I could see that they were pretending to be asleep."

"It's hard to find such caring people, and the husband will treat them better in the future."

"That's natural, you are all the most precious things for your husband, no amount of love is too little, and after your husband goes to Shanyang, this family will please you."

"Husband, please be relieved, everything has my ······"

Both of them had been busy all day, and naturally fell asleep when they said something considerate.

In the early morning, the streets of Chang'an City are crowded, while the sun has not yet risen, many people spontaneously clean the streets, especially the straight Suzaku Street leading to the entrance of the imperial city is close to the imperial city section, the residents on both sides of the street, not only clean the streets, but also along both sides of the street, hung all kinds of colored silk, many people who have been prepared for a long time, and even go out of the city early in the morning to collect a lot of flowers, just wait for the army to pass away, waving these bright flowers, seeing them off.

This is the military and civilians of Datang, they have lived an unprecedented good life, and they have also exploded an unprecedented love for this era.

Sun Xiangfu is wearing the Metropolitan Governor of Anbei today, which is the highest position he hangs on his body, as for the title of Nong Guogong, it is a knighthood, in the court, only according to the position, so he is still ranked in the third position of the Wenchen sequence, in front of the right servant of the Shangshu shot Li Jing, behind is the Ministry of Officials Shangshu Wen Yanbo, and then the Ministry of Rites Shangshu Yu Shinan, and the newly reinstated military department Shangshu Du Ruhui.

However, what is destined to be the most dazzling today is the sequence of military generals, and the sixteen generals are all wearing new-style military uniforms, wearing gold badges and golden wheat ear epaulettes, and in terms of momentum, they are much stronger than those of civilian officials.

Only the emperor Li Shimin can walk in the center of the team, his dress today is not a dragon robe with a round neck and narrow sleeves, but a garment factory specially designed for him, and after repeated modifications, the final set of the emperor's uniform, a bit similar to the military uniform style of the warlord marshal during the Republic of China, long leather boots, high hat, golden wheat ear belt, chest full of glittering badges, epaulettes and collar badges, also very fancy, but it is full of majesty, especially worn on a big man like Li Shimin.

After he stood at the gate in the center of the imperial city, the civil and military officials suddenly stood on both sides of him, looking at the Suzaku Street in front of him, at this time, where the 100,000 troops had been neatly lined up.

In the morning, the morning sun gradually exerted its light and heat, the small drums sounded, the gate of the imperial city opened, and a group of musicians wearing uniforms similar to the female soldiers of later generations walked out of the imperial city neatly.

The people of Chang'an City are no strangers to the sound of these musical instruments, this is the second military parade held by the Zhenguan Dynasty in Chang'an, and, before that, they have more or less heard the sound of some musical instruments during rehearsals.

"Wanquan River water, clear and clear.

I made a hat and sent it to the Tang Army.

The army loves the people, and the people support the army.

The military and the people are united as one family, one family

······”

The singing of the art troupe sounded under the imperial city, a short four-sentence song, repeated constantly, and soon, the people could learn this rhythm and sing along with this rhythm.

Above the Imperial City, all the ministers and generals were full of relief and happiness when they heard the singing that came from below the city like a tsunami.

Of course, there are some people who are in a state of shock, when have they seen this scene of millions of people singing in unison, especially those who understood the meaning of the lyrics.

For example, Shelong, such as Zhang Leqiujin, they only now have a slightly more specific understanding of the strength of Datang, but it is not only rich in products and large population.

For example, Ba Mu, who is now leading the automatic, powerful Feng An, why did he obey the orders of the Li Tang Dynasty and devote himself to integrating the various ethnic groups of Lingnan Baiyue into the Han nationality.

There are some other people who have ideas about the Li Tang Dynasty, at this moment, they are also completely dead, the power of the human heart is infinite, it is not so easy to overthrow, as long as they are not stupid, they all understand this truth.

More than 1,000 musicians of the four major art troupes, dressed in neat uniforms, singing, marching neatly on both sides of the imperial city lined up, and the main instruments were the snare drum, trombone, flute and wind music.

When I saw the appearance of a large number of musicians wearing green short skirts, the people who stood closer only felt that their eyes were blinded.

After Taile Ling, who was also wearing ceremonial clothes, made Yu Xiu'er ascend to the music conductor stage, the military parade ceremony began.

The red tassel used as a conductor was waved by Yu Xiu'er, seeing her solemn and powerful posture, no one dared to despise this female official, in her ceremonial dress, and the majestic sound of music, everyone felt that it was a kind of sacrosanctity, this is the role of music.

In the "Lile Zhi" of the Later Han Dynasty, it is mentioned that "its short flute, cymbal songs, and military music are also." ”

Compared with the short flutes and cymbals at that time, the military music of the Tang Dynasty is much richer, and the arrangement has already exceeded the millennium, because what Yu Xiuer conducted and played was Sun Xiangfu's rhythm with his memory, and the melody was the "Welcome March" of later generations.

This is the music for the soldiers as they enter, and later on, there will be the "Separate March" and the "Parade March", and finally the "Farewell March".

And these four pieces are the most opening momentum of this "Welcome March", and as soon as they come out, they can make everyone who hears this music excited.

In the sound of majestic music, the sergeants lined up on Suzaku Street moved, this time, they were no longer the same as before, wearing heavy armor, showing everyone the equipment of the Tang Dynasty, because, the purpose of this parade is different from the last time, last time it was to show off the muscles and have a deterrent effect, and this time, it is to really fight, and the theme is to swear.

Now among the onlookers, there may be Goguryeo spies mixed in, and the specific level of Datang's new equipment will naturally not let them find out in advance.

Therefore, except for the display of chariots, all the rest of the soldiers are just wearing straight green military uniforms and armed belts that look very spiritual, and most of the soldiers are just wearing a pair of white gloves, holding a standard waist knife or spear in one hand, and not even a heavy shield, but just showing the world the figure and military appearance of the Tang sergeant in a neat queue.

By the end of May, the Tang Army had been training for more than eight months, although nearly a month of it was used to help the people cultivate and harvest, but seven months of high-intensity training had also made some of their habits natural.

This kind of high-headed, confident momentum is even more charming than the heavy armor they wear and wear equipment armed to the teeth.

Many young girls watching in the crowd had an impulse to marry their brother if they wanted to marry.

The team entered the Huangcheng Street in front of the Imperial City Gate, and the military music evolved into the "Separate Marching Area".

On the imperial city, Li Shimin passed through the gate of the imperial city for each team, stepped upright, smiled and waved to the soldiers who raised their hands and saluted, and after all the 100,000 troops lined up on the streets of the imperial city, Li Shimin got off the imperial city and stood on a five-wheeled rickshaw pedaled by three imperial captains, the crown prince Li Chengqian was not in Beijing, Li Shimin did not let other princes board the car together, but made Li Tai, who was full of expectations, depressed to death.

After Li Shimin boarded the car, the music of the art troupe was converted into "Review March", and as the rickshaw began to drive slowly in the middle of the street, Li Shimin also began to say his own lines.

"The soldiers have worked hard······"

"Fight for the Emperor······"

This slogan was added by Sun Xiangfu's suggestion, and its most direct effect was that many of the old government soldiers who came to see the parade, or the government soldiers who were not among the soldiers on this expedition, were eager to make their own decisions and go east with the emperor.

When Li Shimin was reviewing his army under the high-profile scene, Zhang Cheng, who was in the crowd of onlookers, had a blue nose and swollen face, and was wrapped in a lot of gauze, but he entered a deep reflection.

He hated the black man who wanted to beat his sister yesterday, but he liked the atmosphere of Datang and Chang'an, the people were proud of their country and their emperor, even if this military parade did not show everyone a strong armament, but the people also felt that they were invincible.

Of course, what he likes is more than that, his sister Zhang Ruyan told her a lot of things in Chang'an yesterday, the government is very strict with the control of various industries, like her, the original domestic slave, was also issued a second-class citizen household registration compulsorily, and with this household registration, she is in the Wang family, that is, the status of an employee, even if it is an employer, she cannot be forced to do the leather and meat business.

Therefore, although she works on the painting boat, she only sings, dances, and pours wine and fans for the guests, but she does not lose her body, which is also a compromise that she has to make in order to earn some food and fill her stomach to survive.

And under the policy of the imperial court, many sisters like her who were born poor avoided the tragic fate of complete decline, and she was just one of them.

In addition, Zhang Ruyan also told him his thoughts, she wanted to apply for the art troupe, she was confident, with her own ability, she could be a female official, so that her children and grandchildren would no longer be bullied, from beginning to end, she did not agree to follow him to the remote and remote Yunnan.

Thinking of Wang Hao's plan, Zhang Cheng was in a dilemma, he didn't want to betray Wang Hao, but he couldn't bear to destroy the harmony and beauty in front of him, and he didn't want his only relative to be hurt, so he didn't care about the physical injury at all, and the mental torment made him unable to lie quietly in the guest room to recuperate, and endure the pain, he decided to come out and take a look, and in a corner in his distance, his sister Zhang Ruyan was looking at the heroic posture with envious and adoring eyes, holding high the red tassel, and directing the Taile Ling Yu Xiu'er who played music for more than 1,000 people, this is a woman that all Datang women envy and admire, especially women like Zhang Ruyan who are engaged in quyi work.
